Chris,
Maybe the indefinite "you" can't fix a sliding door handle, but I did.  I had
to dispense with the tumbler so the door could only be locked from the
inside.  I wasted away the broken portion of the handle which protruded into
the door and machined an insert from stainless steel to replace the pot
metal.  Unlocking it was inconvenient at times, but my kids could hang on it
with impunity.
